Raven Events (10K) - Nov 1, 2026 | Cross River, NY

Embark on a true trail running adventure at the Raven Rocks Run, a challenging 10K set amidst the stunning autumn foliage of Ward Pound Ridge Reservation in Cross River, NY. Scheduled for Sunday, November 8, 2026, this eleventh annual event offers runners a demanding yet rewarding experience across diverse terrain. The course, known for its "Hills and Thrills," features significant elevation changes, comparable to other tough trail races in the region. Starting in the Meadow, the first half of the race involves a steady ascent to the panoramic Raven Rocks Overlook, roughly at the halfway point, before a rapid descent. Runners then face a climb up the Fire Tower trail, including a short rock scramble near the summit—the highest point in the park—before a mostly downhill and flatter finish. The 100% unpaved course winds through rocky climbs, ridgeline trails, hilly meadows, and ravines, with 95% of the route shaded by trees.

Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 57F and lows of 36F, with only a 12% chance of precipitation, making for invigorating fall weather. While there are no major water crossings, some sections may be wet or muddy, adding to the trail experience. A crucial water stop is strategically placed at the 4-mile mark, at the top of the Fire Tower climb, ensuring hydration on this rigorous route. The Lewisboro Volunteer Ambulance Corps provides on-course first aid support.

More than just a race, the Raven Rocks Run is dedicated to a cause, with proceeds supporting the restoration of the historic Cross River Mountain Fire Tower and the Lewisboro Volunteer Ambulance Corps. Finishers of the 10K will celebrate their accomplishment without medals, but overall and age group winners are awarded delicious pies from Dutch Desserts, a unique touch. Highly regarded for its challenging course and beautiful scenery, the Raven Rocks Run promises an unforgettable trail experience for those seeking an authentic and impactful autumn race.
